It addresses the common bottleneck of I\/O and network throughput by combining dual wired LAN controllers, full-speed Wi-Fi 7, USB4 at 40 Gbps, and four M.2 slots — two of which run at PCIe Gen 5 speeds. The carbon black aesthetic with Mystic Light RGB keeps the visual identity consistent with a high-end build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWhy This Product\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual wired LAN for gaming and transfers\u003c\/strong\u003e — A Realtek 5 Gbps controller handles low-latency gaming traffic alongside a Realtek 2.5 Gbps controller, giving builders two separate wired network paths without an add-in card.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-speed Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4\u003c\/strong\u003e — The integrated Wi-Fi 7 solution delivers ultra-low latency and high-bandwidth wireless connectivity, complemented by Bluetooth 5.4 for peripherals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSB4 at 40 Gbps with display output\u003c\/strong\u003e — Two USB4 Type-C ports each support 40 Gbps data transfer and DisplayPort 1.4 with HBR3, allowing a 4K@60Hz display to be driven directly from the rear panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e18+2+1 phase VRM with dual 8-pin power\u003c\/strong\u003e — The Duet Rail Power System uses 110 A Smart Power Stages and dual CPU power connectors to sustain maximum performance under high-end Ryzen processors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour M.2 slots including two PCIe Gen 5\u003c\/strong\u003e — Two Lightning Gen 5 x4 slots run at up to 128 Gbps each, and two Lightning Gen 4 x4 slots run at up to 64 Gbps, supporting fast NVMe storage without sacrificing SATA ports.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront USB Type-C with 27 W power delivery\u003c\/strong\u003e — The front-panel USB 20 Gbps Type-C header includes 60 W USB Power Delivery, and the front USB Type-C supports 27 W PD for charging devices connected to the chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eSocket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eAMD AM5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eChipset\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eAMD X870E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eForm Factor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eATX\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eWired LAN\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e5 Gbps + 2.5 Gbps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eWireless\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eWi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eUSB4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e2× USB4 40 Gbps Type-C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eM.2 Slots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e4 (2× Gen5, 2× Gen4)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold;width:35%;\"\u003eMemory Max\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px 12px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e256 GB DDR5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series desktop processors via the AM5 socket.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Supports DDR5 non-ECC unbuffered memory in four DIMM slots, up to 256 GB, with AMD EXPO and CUDIMM (Clock Driver bypass mode only) support.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ ATX form factor (304.8 × 243.84 mm) — fits any standard ATX or larger chassis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote: HDMI 2.1 (8K@60Hz) and USB4 DisplayPort outputs require a processor with integrated graphics;
